HOW IT HAPPENED. by lizzie i, folsom. Creak, creak, went the rigging. YYhirr-r-r, went the wind through it. and Tearing and straining at the cording, if it tossing the great steamer about as were a toy, the wind caught at the masts and made them groan and quiver, then, in sheer wantonness, gathered up a mighty wave and sent it tearing, a white sheet of foam, clear across the deck, And the passengers, most of them who were huddled together in the cabin, shivered and exchanged glances of com miseration, not devoid, iu some cases, of very humanfear. Whirr-r-r went the wind; and caught, on its way, a jaunty, red, knitted cap, twirled it aloft in derision, then left it bobbing desolately about at the mercy of the waters, and prepared to give atteu tion to further dishevelment of the wavy, dark head leaning over the bul warks. There was a dismayed cry, and two hands gra-tied wildly at the empty air, returning' to hold to the small, shapely head, lest it should follow. “That’s a pitv 1 It was such a pretty hat 1” said ‘ a masculine voice “Yes. wasn’t it?” in dolorous, wind tossed quaver. Then they looked at each other a mo ment in silence, and then laughed, soft ly, spoke heartily, with youth’s gladness.

Bo you mind?” “JVIynameis Eugenie Grant,and Hive in Buffalo. I think I do not mind.” And they leaned together, clinging to the bulwarks, and watched the bobbing red cap till it was lost to view; then she pulled her water-proof hood over her m Fou? 1 £iro r ”'f“m four days he had been Liverpool. victim For the a to charms of th ■ young woman who then sat beside composedly in dripping waterpi oof him. He had seen her as she came on boaid, holding her gray skirts daintily about her,while her lace-edged thought petticoats he peeped had from beneath. He never seen a prettier fig ure than that outlined by the gray suit, nor softer,lovelier eyes than the ones that glanced at him, and looked awav—to glance again. He had wanted so much to know" her, but she had seemed shy ; true, she had peeped at him from behind the floral tower in the centre of the table; she had looked at him and laughed when, the first rough day, he supported his next neighbor had in gasping misery from the table,but he found no chance to speak to her. She had become prettier upon close inspection than he had at first thought,and most distractingly so in the ill-fated red cap, like from under which her eyes had shone twin, laughing made stars.

After that, perhaps, talked to it was not strange that, he “’Genie,” and maybe, it was happened possible that ouce or twice h!s hand to lie on hers and neither of them seemed to know. It had grown to be quite a serious thing for both by the time New York harbor was an immediate possibility; and the last night out, as they parted in their sheltered corner, he held fast both her hands, and the two shadowed heads on the deck melted into one—at any rate that is ihe way it looked, and Eugenie ran with hot, red cheeks to the cabin. She next morning all was hub-bub; the bustle of disembarking; the nervous furry of righteous desire to evade mislaid the custom officers; the eollectingof luggage, all made the scene a lively one. Eugenie was in her state-room, frantical¬ ly trying to make one satchel do the work of two, when a rap at her door was fol¬ lowed by Neil’s voice. “Please do a favor for me,” he said, in his emphatic way. “Wear this ring off the boat for me. It s very valuable; a friend sent by me for it, but I don’t know”—with smiling eyes—“that I shall let him have it now. Y r ou wear it, and I il come to your hotel to-night for it— if I must take it; but I hope—you know what, ’Genie!” He was gone, and Eugenie stood with happy blushes on her fair face, clasping tight the small package be, containing she said the Eng. rier Eng, it might if so, and wils there any doubt what she would say? She pressed it to her lips. “Hurry, ’Genie ” cried a querulous voice - “hurry, child!” She started, and tore open the pack a S e with eager haste, bringing ring. Her forth face on the end of her linger a fell. YVhat a wretched little thing! A cameo of cheapest variety, and consider ahly too large for her slender fingers, “Worse than ordinary.” said Eugenie, “What does he mean by asking me to wear such a paltry affair!

'apa Grant was a portly pompous gentleman, with a great deal of gold watch chain across a broad expanse of white vest. Very deliberate and particular, he re quired that the matter should be fully ex lained twice by his weeping daugh ter, before expressing an opinion. “You are an impudent young rascal,” said Papa Grant. “Who gave you leave to address my daughter at all?” <« A11 j; caa sav , sir,” persisted Grant” Neil, dl I “is that I gave to Miss __ inot >( en i e any more.

Of course you are sure you did not, my dear. But it may be.” She pon¬ dered a moment while Neil and Eugenie watched her breathlessly. “If we could,” she said, at last, “if we could go on the boat, before our state room had been swept—do you think it possible, Joseph?” He of thc gold watch chain thus ap¬ pealed “Absurd! to, sniffed contemptuously. Out of the question! The whole affair is ridiculous, and conies from allowing your daughter to make indis¬ criminate acquaintances, against which I particularly warned you. 1 set the whole matter aside.” But the calm-voiced little woman was a power in the household, and, after a little, Neil was despatched for a carriage, and Eugenie to takeorl herpretty party dress and bathe her tear-stained face. Neil was very wretched as he helped Mrs. Grant into a carriage, and When Eugenie flounced by him and stared stonily, with red, angry eyes at him, he felt that he had nothing to li e for, and climbed up by the driver a very abject and miserable young man. muddy Alter a great deal of driving about and streets, loss of talking, of arguing, found of of temper, the party themselves at thc di-or of the state-room Eugenie had bid a fond good by at noon. She darted forward, ahead of the rest, and her eyes sought eagerly about its limited area. She kicked away with the tip of her shoe the pile of papers in the corner, and pounced down upon the pink jeweler’s paper that had held the cameo. Her face flushed, her eyes brightened, and little dimples came and went as she drew forth from it a tiny box which, tillating opened, sent the out glittering, within. scin¬ rays from gem The lost ring! Down under a pile of rubbish, waiting to be swept out by care¬ less hands, had lain the little package that had caused so much heart-ache and so many tears. “It’s well I suggested coming.” said Papa Gra it. “I don’t know' how I hap¬ pened to think of it. Take care of tint step, Agnes,” and Neil was left alone. Left alone; with droop’ng head and a very real ache at his heart. And so this was the end of it all: of the moonlight nights; of the whispered words; of the clasped h inds. And he must prepare to forget it all. The curving rosy mouth, the shining eyes. Forget them! it would be very hard to do. There came a soft touch on his arm and a jaunty hat rested against his shoul¬ der. “Oh, Neil! How could I know the wretched ring was there? Can you lor give me? bo forgive me, and then I ran forgiveyou. We ll notthinkabout back tell it any¬ more, will we? I came to you so—dear.” Then he put both arms about her, and kissed her softly before they went out into the night. All this was a year ago.

Persian Superstitions. There are many and cur i 0U s supersti tions in p ergia . Without meaning to exbaus t the sub ject I will give you some of the more peculiar ones. Tiie “baade k h a dem‘” which is the approximately of ren dered in English by would term be translated evi eye, though literally plays it the largest in this ‘‘evil step,” part line . The evil eye is believed in by every body in Persia, the highest as well as the lowes t. A baby Ig healthy and pretty, A friend of the mother admires the little one in gl0 wing terms. That would be “baade khadem'’—or evil omen—and would be taken as a diabolical design to i n j ure the child if the phrase “Eenshal lah” (may it please Godj were not added to every eulogium An old woman looks at the child from the chill right-hand side evil eye again. The stumbles early j u the morning—evil eye. The father, by acciden t ,’ speaks first to the baby at sunrise—evil . eye. A girl, pretty well mann ered, healthy, with a good dowry, ig we dded to a man. The first business undertaking of the young benedict turns out dlS astrously—evil eye! Nothing could induce that man to keep his young wife. She is “baade khadem to him, ttnd she ’ a go t to go. willy nilly. As the divorce law is such that it virtually lies with the husband alone to keep or send away Is uis wife, and as the ceremony it ge lf very simple, and requires neither time nor money, he soon gets rid of her. Nobody blames him. “She was ‘baade kba dem’ to him,” everybody says in ex ' p P i a nation, and that’s enough. The shah has appointed a very able and deserving man to an important posi tion. for which his previous qualify experience him. and hig capacity eminently On the same day the Shah happens to overfeed himself with lamb and raw cu cumbers, and has an attack of colic. The new appointee is blamed. He is “baade kba dem,” Very and incontinently gets the sack . E y thing is judged himself in this wav. and If a man ha made a fool ot run to too great expense in entertaining a guest, for instance, the blame is put on one of the ladies of hig andaroun, on his head servant . 0 r somebody else, and that one is made to suffer. Astrology adshim), the horoscope (taleh). the rosay (tesbin) used as an oracle, and the Koran, the poets, especially baadi and Han*, used j n tbe same way play also a most im portant role in the life of the modern Persian. In all doubtful cases, called technically “istekharet,” recoqrse is had to one or the other orto all of them. A man is in doubt whether to purchase a horse ho desires. Dealer and custom*, resort to the nearest house of a mollah and the Koran is opened at random.

Many persons on coming from church complain of headache. This is caused by tiie action of the impure blood on the brain, due to the accumulation of carbolic acid gas in the air of poorly effect ven¬ tilated churches. and The pernicious system is upon the brain nervous very aptly illustrated by the drowsy, li.-tless attitude of the scholars in a poor¬ ly ventilated school room as compared with the bright and animated appear ance of the children in a neighboring ventilated. room that has been carefully of Ca: e til attention to the ventilation churches and schools will prevent much of the inattention and sleepiness observed during the afternoon session ..—Ilealtn and Home. Health Hints. it is notalways necessary to have teeth extracted when they ache. The nerve may be diseased and the tooth still per fectly sound. In a case of slight sore throat, let a little powdered borax be placid on the tongue, and allowed to dissolve and run down the throat. “Enough is as good as a feast.” Re¬ member that it is better to leave the ta¬ ble a little hungry than to suffer the pangs of indigestion after eating heartily. The habit of continual spitting which attend-, the chewing of tobacco and gums, induces debility, not only of the salivary glands, but of the system generally.

The needle is passed through the walls of the chest, and it is the aim to bring the remedus as near the affected spot in the lungs as possible. Some very good results are report d, carbolized iodine having appeared to work to the best ad¬ vantage. To select a room for a sick person, care should be taken to have it exposed to im¬ as little external noise as possible, greatly as ini,li¬ pressions made on the ear enee the nervous system. Likewise select a spacious, well ventilated apart¬ ment, that has iu it no unnecessary fur niture. Great care is necessary in reg¬ ulating the light of a sick room,although it is not often necessary to exclude all light. The rule is, a strong light stimu¬ lates the action of the brain, while a moderate light is soothing to it. Deafness and impaired hearing are frequently caused by an accumulation of hardened wax upon the external surface of the drum of the ear. Never attempt pin to remove this with the head of a or a hair pin. As an eminent doctor of Paris once remarked to one of his pa¬ tients, “amen should never put anything in his ear smaller than his elbow.” Wax and foreign substances can nearly always be removed by dropping into the ear a few drops of olive oil, a little warm, and, after letting it remain awhile, syringing the ear with warm soap suds. The Fishing Frog. Tbe fishing frog, or sea devil, as it is sometimes called, owing doubtless to its repulsive appearance, is conspicuous principally for its peculiar method of al¬ luring its prey, Its head is of enormous size, aud the feature that is not lea-t pro¬ nounced is its prodigious mouth, which extends, not from ear to ear, but half way round the front part of its head, and is fortified with rows of teeth which may be raised or depres-ed at will, according as the prey is entering captiviiy. or striving Along to es¬ cape from its place head of found three long the top of the are filaments ^ tne first _ . of , wmch . . , terminates . . . in a bait-bke appendage, and which may be waved in any direction Fishes are attracted by the motion of this object, and when sufficiently near, the mouth is opened destruction, and the prey is sucked in to its own The stomach is distensible loan ex taordinary degree, and frequently fishes are discovered therein which are nearly equal in weight and size to the fishing frog itself.

DUMBER 50. “ Let There Be No Strife,” DR. TALMAGE TELLS MARRIED PEOPLE HOW TO SETTLE RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES. On Sunday Mr. Talmage read for his text Genesis, xiii.. 8, 9 - “ Let there be no strife, I prav thee, between me and thee, and between my herd men and t hy herdmen. is not the whole land be¬ fore t ee?” The preacher described the difaculty which had arisen between tbe hetdmen of Abraham and Lot a difficulty which Lot had the weakness to make a personal question between h mself and his udc e Abraham. The narrowmindedness and the selfishness of the nephew were set forth and brought into broad belief by contrast with the dignity and magnanimous subject un¬ selfishness of the uncle. Ihe present in the passage of Scripture road bad a singular application, said the preacher, to this broad land of ours, and especia ly in the matter of religion. IVhat names and denominations we had! V hat. a variety of creeds! IV bat room fof choice! ' YVhy raise difficulties about trifles? The whole land was be¬ fore them, with all the creeds in Chris¬ tendom. They could have their choice. “Let there be no strife between us.” “Is not the whole land before thee? If we ultimately arrived safe at the grand central depot of the universe Heaven—it would be a small i ueAKm whether we came by the broad or l he narrow gauge. accord¬ It was an important question, should be the ing to the preacher, what rule when wife diffeie.1 from husband or when husband differed from wife in reiigious matters. Should the wife go With the husband, or should the hus¬ band go with the wife ? Dr. Talmage took the ground that there was saving influence in each of the evangelical if churches; and lie argued, first, ^ that one or the other was not a ( hristian, it was the duty of the one who was to make every sacrifice to save the other. “Mighty God!” the and preacher his Rands ex¬ claimed raising his eyes to heaven, “is it conceivable that i?ny one will stickle about trifles, as names, denoniinatioiJs, creed, litanies, forms and methods of baptism and such like, when an immortal soul is iu peril ?’’ The preacher argued in the second place that if either Husband or wife was too rigidly sectarian to believe that sal¬ vation was outside the church of her or his preference it was the duty of the stronger minded and the more generous to yield to the other. “I like them all,” said Dr. Talmage. “I could live with them all, worship with them ail, preach to them all, be happy with them all. I suppose I must have bceii born near the line. I know nothing ot sectarian sentiment. I like the liturgy of Episcopacy, the warmth of the Methodists, the liberty of the Congregationalists and the strength of Presbyterianism.” argued in the third place that It was should if both were stubborn then they it agree to differ. Let each go where was most agreeable. Let them avoid wr amrling before their children and be¬ fore their servants. And then about the children Let them choose for them selves. The ____ children were often quite as able to decide as their parents, and it was often found that the children brought about agieements upon church questions when all other means failed. After all, the great matter was not creed, but salvation. DESSIC TED PORK. “Give me a little more of the wood buck, please, my dear,” says Funny to his better half at breakfast. “ oodchuck!

Thc digestive organs, when healthy, cra/e food, the nervous system, when vigorous and tranquil, gives its possessor no uneasiness at night. A tonic, to bo effective, should not he a mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to bo strengthened and soothed by the unaided ac¬ tion of a sedative or a narcot'e.
